下方就是德國，它曾經遍佈著密集的鐵路和運河網路，是路德發表言論、歌德吟詩作賦、莫扎特曾執掌音樂和諧權杖的地方。在那裡，科學和藝術領域閃耀著許多偉大的名字，都是我們所不瞭解的。

down below lies Germany, that was once covered with a close net of railway and canals, the region where Luther spoke, where Goethe sang, and mozart once held the sceptre of harmony. Great names shine there, in science and in art, names that are unknown to us.

安排一天時間遊覽德國，再安排一天時間遊覽北方地區，也就是奧斯特和林奈的故鄉，還有挪威，那是古代英雄和年輕諾曼人的故鄉。

“there is really a great deal to be seen in Europe,” says the young American, “and we have seen it in a week, according to the directions of the great traveller” (and here he mentions the name of one of his contemporaries) “in his celebrated work, ‘how to See All Europe in a week.’”
